[quote=Anonymous]Travel cost is a drop in the bucket compared to total cost. Focus on the net prices after financial aid and/or merit scholarships. If you are getting full need-based aid, there will be some consideration for travel costs built in. See the estimated total cost of attendance. Aim for private colleges that meet full need, and your state universities. If your kid might be able to get a top score on the PSAT, that is worth trying for, as there may be some full ride merit available. There are always kids on campus during, say, Thanksgiving break who didn't have the time or money to get home. If you are close enough, there may be buses. Look at the options and their costs for any particular college, but the college itself needs to be affordable first.[/quote]
